Tonight was the first communion I’ve had in over a year. That is so hard to believe. After the tragic death of my pastor, we didn’t have communion for about 4 months. Then, with Pastor Jeff, every time we’ve had communion I have been away or sick.
Communion is such a bittersweet time. I wail at the recognition of my sin and the price He paid. And yet I worship at the remembrance of the sacrifice. Tonight was much needed.
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small:
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
- Isaac Watts
